Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Late Night "Visitor"
Of course, not to mention how difficult it is to find the traces of these people, even if you find their traces and successfully surround them, it will also cost a lot of money to eliminate them.
The poachers are not armed with shotguns and cannons, and to a certain extent, they have more advanced light weapons than the weapons of the reserve managers.
Therefore, such tasks are generally entrusted to the special forces of the Western Military District, especially the Snow Leopard Brigade. And this is also the reason why Luo Xueqin was able to receive orders from her superiors.
And when he received this order, Luo Xueqin turned to think of the first tactical group of the Dragon's Tooth Brigade who was about to come to the plateau to participate in training, if they had the strength to participate in this operation at that time, Luo Xueqin did not recommend handing over this task to the tactical group, after all, actual combat is the best standard for testing combat effectiveness.
However, according to the performance of the tactical team on the plateau at this time, it was impossible for Luo Xueqin to give them such a task. However, Luo Xueqin has at least one more month to go, and it will take at least a month to find the traces of this group of poachers again.
"You have a month at most, and after a month, if your performance can satisfy me, I don't need to send other special operations teams to participate in the operation! Of course, if your performance can't satisfy me, then wait until you satisfy me! After four months, if your individual and overall performance can't satisfy me, even if one person is not satisfied, you also need to wait until everyone is satisfied with me! Even if your captain stands in front of me, I dare to speak like that!" Luo Xueqin, who had a hint of coldness in her eyes, spoke.
In the tactical group standing on horseback, individual team members seemed to think differently from others, and after listening to Luo Xueqin's words, these people focused on Luo Xueqin's last sentence.
To be honest, these guys really want to see what kind of sparks the two of them will have when the captain of the dignified Dragon Tooth Brigade and the youngest lieutenant general in Huaxia Kingdom stand in front of the deputy captain of the Snow Leopard Brigade in front of them, Lieutenant Colonel Luo Xueqin, and whether they will be exactly the same as what Luo Xueqin just said when the time comes.
Jiang Chen, who was not far away, knew what these guys were thinking about after seeing the weird smiles on their faces, and his face darkened a few times, but as the son of the hero in the story, whether he had other thoughts in his heart, I'm afraid he was the only one who knew...
An hour later, after standing for an unknown amount of time, plus a series of tortures, Luo Xueqin let them go, and the seven dragged their tired and trembling bodies, and under the leadership of the second assistant teacher of Xueer, they walked into the bungalow and began their first dinner in the plateau area.
Considering that the fighters of the tactical group entered the plateau area for the first time, and basically all of them had mild altitude sickness, as their first dinner in the plateau area, Luo Xueqin did not arrange something too oily for them, after all, a large intake of high-protein food requires more oxygen to digest. On the contrary, something light can make people recover faster.
"Contact the higher authorities to deliver the weapons, equipment and ammunition that need to be used as soon as possible. Tell them that the task of exterminating this group of poachers will be handed over to the tactical team of the Dragon's Tooth Brigade!" Outside the bungalow, feeling the colder and colder temperatures around her, Luo Xueqin spoke.
"Captain, judging from the current performance, the tactical team of the dragon's tooth does not have the ability to fight on the plateau at all, so it is directly and rashly asked the tactical team to carry out this task, if the tactical team is unable to carry out this task after discovering the traces of the poachers, and then call other special operations teams to help, I'm afraid it will be too late!" Besides, the Snow Leopard Brigade does not have many tasks this year, and many special operations teams are already on semi-vacation, and any team that is randomly dispatched may be more beautiful than them, at least they can complete the task 100%!"
It's not that Instructor Xueyi looks down on the combat effectiveness of the tactical group, but according to their current combat effectiveness on the plateau, it is simply impossible to complete the task. Although Luo Xueqin said that they still have a month, maybe the god of luck will fall on their heads in the next second, and maybe they will find the attention of this poacher gang tomorrow, and it will be impossible to pull the tactical team into that environment to fight.
"Do you know the Great Demon King of the Desert Fox Squadron?" Luo Xueqin can certainly understand Xue Yi's worries, but she can also give such an order, and she also has her own grasp, and her grasp is the performance of the tactical team in the desert training camp.
"Is it him?" Sure enough, Xue Yi, who also knew Wang Zheng, turned a little pale after hearing this familiar name.
"You should have experienced the training of the Desert Fox Great Demon King instructor back then, right?" Luo Xueqin, who suddenly thought of this, asked.
"Yes, two years ago, I was selected from the Snow Leopard Brigade and went to the training camp of the Desert Fox Squadron in the Tucker Desert, and the training camp instructor at that time was the famous Great Demon King Wang Zheng of the Desert Fox Squadron!" Thinking of what happened two years ago, Xue Yi's eyes had a trace of palpitations.
"The desert training camp created by the Great Demon King Instructor of the Desert Fox Squadron has not only lasted for five years, but during these five years, the Great Demon King Instructor is still using the same training methods and projects!" Luo Xueqin, who saw this, said.
"Yes, the Great Demon King Instructor once said that if anyone can complete all the training items, he will discard the original training method. But in the past five years, even the best special operations team, that is, the famous Red Fox Squadron of the Desert Fox Squadron, has not completed all the training back then!" said Xue Yi, an assistant coach with a sigh in his heart, after experiencing it himself, until now, he thought that the training method in the hands of the Great Demon King Instructor was an impossible task.
"But do you know that just a month and a half ago, there was a special forces unit that completed all the training of the Great Demon King instructor in less than three months!" Luo Xueqin, who was staring at Xue Yi with both eyes, said, not seeming to see the shocked look on the other party's face, only to see Luo Xueqin continue, " Just two weeks ago, an expedition team of our country accidentally entered the Doka region of the Hajiji country, and this special force, with the strength of seven people, faced with four or five hundred terrorists, not only successfully rescued these twelve expedition members, but also persevered until the arrival of the terrorists at the cost of almost zero casualties!"
If Xue Yi at this time no longer understands which special forces the captain just said about is the special forces, I'm afraid he is not worthy of standing here, and at this time, Xue Yi was shocked, and he also understood in his heart what Luo Xueqin said just now, what it meant.
As a member of the special forces of the Western Military District, Xue Yi certainly knows how dangerous the Dokha area of Haji Country is. And it was such a special forces force that was not strong in their hearts, but with the strength of seven people, they rescued twelve trapped explorers from the hands of hundreds of terrorists!
"After this special forces team has completed all the training in the desert training camp, the Great Demon King Instructor has given them the highest evaluation! This is also the first time that the Great Demon King Instructor has given such a high evaluation to a special operations team!"
"I have always believed in the existence of miracles, and I firmly believe that a person's potential is unlimited! The first special forces established by the Dragon's Tooth Brigade, although the members of the team are not more than twenty-five years old, but these seven people are the elite selected from the millions of troops in the whole army, maybe they can't fight on the plateau at all now, but they have a full four months, maybe they don't need four months at all, and their final combat effectiveness can surprise you!"
After saying these words, Luo Xueqin, who finally looked at Xue Yi, said: "Your scruples just now are not unreasonable, if in the next second, the higher authorities have found the traces of this group of poachers, according to the current combat effectiveness of the tactical team, it is true that they can't be pulled up to fight, then they can only be blamed for their bad luck! However, if they can't fight, isn't there still five of us, according to the strength of the five of us, can't we eliminate this group of poachers?"
After listening to Luo Xueqin's words, Xue Yi immediately smiled, although Xue Yi and a few people are only assistant coaches, but their strength is also the top group in the snow leopard brigade, if the traces of poachers are really found at that time, no matter what the combat effectiveness of the tactical team is, with the five of them, they can complete the task!
"Immediately report what I just explained to the higher authorities!" After seeing the smile on Xue's face, Luo Xueqin knew that the worry in the other party's heart just now had almost disappeared.
"Understood!" said Assistant Teacher Xue Yi, who nodded.
"In the evening, the four of you, work hard, in a group of two. One group is responsible for the first half of the night, and the other group is responsible for the second half of the night, and the guard posts in the camp are raised! The Tibetan antelope carcass found is less than 200 kilometers away from us, and if this group of poachers wanders here, we must react in time!" Luo Xueqin, who looked solemn, said.
Many of the camps built in the heart of the reserve were abandoned after the reserve became much safer than before, but the reserve did not directly demolish them for fear that the poachers would return.
Because of this, it is very likely that poachers in the protected areas will use these abandoned camps as their own bases, after all, this is not uncommon.
Once these poachers come, Luo Xueqin does not have enough precautions here, and they are likely to pay a huge price for it.
"I understand!" replied to Assistant Teacher Yukiichi who heard this.
Luo Xueqin, who nodded, turned her head and looked at the seven tactical team members who were around the table in the bungalow room without a bite of food, and the assistant coach Xue Yi next to her, said with a smile: "Captain, I'm afraid they will lose sleep tonight!"
"It's a normal reaction when you go into the highlands, where the air is thin and they have a lot of intense training. Although they are tired and hungry now, they have no appetite at all, and they can also cause high-altitude insomnia at night. This kind of thing, just wait until you get used to it!" Luo Xueqin, who also had a smile on her face, said, when she first entered the plateau area, Luo Xueqin couldn't fully adapt to life here for a long time.
"Will the training continue in the next few days, or will it continue until they get used to life on the plateau?" Xue Yi, who thought of this, asked.
"Why don't you continue?" Luo Xueqin, who heard this question, asked rhetorically, "Their physical fitness is very good, and they are only mild altitude sickness, which does not affect their daily training, so it's a big deal to reduce the difficulty of training in the early stage." Moreover, only in this way can we stimulate their potential and allow them to create their own miracles!"
"Understood!" replied, nodding Yukiichi.
Luo Xueqin was indeed not wrong, the seven members of the tactical team really experienced the plateau life at this time. They live in the plateau all year round, even if their physical fitness is too strong, after experiencing high-intensity training, several of them have headaches, fatigue and loss of appetite.
Although several team members had empty stomachs, they didn't have the appetite to eat at all, but in order to recover their strength as soon as possible, several team members still ate everything.
However, when they lay down on the bed, the seven members of the team were very tired, but they could not sleep at all.
The plateau area is different from the plains, with low air pressure and low oxygen content in the air, which can easily lead to a lack of oxygen in the body. Although our brains weigh only 2% of our body weight, they consume 20% of the body's oxygen.
When there is a lack of oxygen in the body, the brain is the first to be endangered. Once the brain cells are deprived of oxygen, the brain cells and cerebral cortex cells will be damaged, resulting in neuromodulation disorders, which in turn will lead to insomnia and other symptoms. Especially in people who have just entered the plateau and have not fully adapted to the plateau environment, plateau insomnia is most likely to occur.
At this time, the seven members of the tactical team are in this situation, and the seven members who can't sleep can only lie on the bed in the end, their eyes wide, waiting for their bodies to adapt to altitude sickness, but if they want to complete this goal tonight, it is basically impossible...
In the camp late at night, the lights in several bungalows in the camp were all turned off, the solar panels that were originally installed in the bungalows to collect electricity were also taken back by several teaching assistants for fear of being destroyed by the wind and sand, and two pickup trucks transferred from the reserve were also covered with wind-proof sand cloths.
At night, the temperature in Hoh Xil not only dropped to more than minus 30 degrees, but also blew a strong wind, which mixed with sand roared wantonly on the endless Gobi Desert, and countless wind and sand hit the glass windows of the camp, and the movement also made the members of the tactical team who had lost sleep look a little irritable.
At this time, in the wind and sand, a string of lights suddenly lit up on the Gobi Desert a few kilometers away, and with a clearer and clearer roar, the lights became clearer and clearer.
Lying on the roof of the bungalow, covered with a heavy blanket, the whole body, including the head curled up in the blanket, was wearing something similar to a square scarf on his face, and his eyes were wearing dust-proof glasses.
The moment he saw the lights in the distance, Assistant Teacher Xue San directly pressed the alarm button installed on his watch.
"Dididi, Dididi...."
Inside the house, Luo Xueqin, who was fully armed, lay on the bed, the first time her watch sounded and vibrate, Luo Xueqin woke up, she did not hesitate at all with a scarf and dustproof glasses, and after she walked out of the room with an 81 rifle, she climbed up to the bungalow against the wind and sand.
The moment she climbed onto the roof of the bungalow, Luo Xueqin saw the lights of the cars coming from not far away, and from the lights, Luo Xueqin judged that some of the vehicles that were constantly approaching this side were motorcycles, and the other were off-road vehicles and pickup trucks.
"Xue Er, wake up the people in the tactical team, send their weapons down, and let them stay in the house, they are not allowed to come out without my order! Remember, you can't make too much movement and light when you go!" Luo Xueqin, who didn't hesitate at all, crawled a few steps and said to Xue San, another assistant teacher who was on guard under the roof.
When she saw this convoy executing in the reserve late at night, Luo Xueqin knew that this convoy should be a poacher gang that was discovered by the Reserve Administration a week ago, because only poachers will act at night, and the natural barrier at night creates a perfect opportunity for poachers to commit crimes.
Late-night movements are much slower than during the day, and these poachers can often reap huge gains by searching some of the most likely areas in the reserve where they are most likely to congregate!
"Understood!" Xue San at the door of the bungalow did not hesitate at all after hearing this, and after finding the room where the tactical team lived by the moonlight, he walked in directly after opening the door.
"Captain, what's going on?"
At this time, the two assistant coaches, Xue Yi and Xue Si, who had just finished the first half of the night vigilance, finally climbed onto the roof with weapons after hearing the alarm and vibration on their watches.
Hearing this, Luo Xueqin pointed to the lights that were getting closer and closer in front of her, and said, "It should be that group of poachers!"
"Damn, these guys are really here!" After seeing the lights in the distance clearly, Xue Yi couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this time.
"Xue Si, go down immediately and turn on the thermal imaging to see if there are anyone else in other directions!" Luo Xueqin, who thought of this, turned her head and said to Xue Si's assistant teacher who was lying next to her.
"Understood!" Seeing this, Assistant Teacher Xue Si did not hesitate at all, and after saying this, he climbed off the roof and went into another room.
"Captain, what should we do? Looking at this posture, there should be quite a few people!" Xue Yi, who turned his head, said to Luo Xueqin, his tone was very solemn.
Judging from the lights, the convoy of poachers consisted of at least six or seven off-road vehicles and pickup trucks, in addition to four or five motorcycles, and the number was about twenty.
